Question

Put the following decimals in order from least to greatest 4.08; 4.3; 4.803; 4.038

Answer 1

4.038; 4.08; 4.3; 4.803 that's from least to greatest

Answer 2

4.038 < 4.08 < 4.3 < 4.803

Explanation:

We are given four decimal numbers and we have to arrange them in increasing order:

The numbers are 4.08, 4.3, 4.803, 4.038

The expanded form of these decimal numbers are:

`4.08 = 4 + \displaystyle(8)/(100)`

`4.3 = 4 + \displaystyle(3)/(10)`

`4.803 = 4 + \displaystyle(8)/(10) + \displaystyle(3)/(1000)`

`4.038 = 4 + \displaystyle(3)/(100) + \displaystyle(8)/(1000)`

Thus, the increasing order is:

4.038 < 4.08 < 4.3 < 4.803
